Let’s get to know a few of our plant neighbours in the Spryfield area of Halifax. Karen McKendry, of the Ecology Action Centre (EAC), will discuss and explore edible, interesting and rare plants, and their fascinating lives in the Backlands and the Williams Lake watershed.
The Williams Lake Conservation Company and the Captain William Spry Community Library are hosting a series of talks by local experts on the amazing natural environment we live in. Topics include hiking trails, fishing for newbies, birding skills, identifying wild edible plants and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. We welcome you to join us at the Captain William Spry Public Library in the Program Room for most speakers. No registration needed for most events.
NOTE: Some dates have been revised, April 11.
The Backlands Suites art exhibit is an exceptional glimpse into the many stunning and diverse natural areas tucked into the landscapes found in the Backlands in Spryfield. These natural “suites” are framed by the Purcell’s Cove Road and the Herring Cove Road from Power’s Pond to Williams Lake Road and cover 1,350 hectares of unique forests, sculpted granite barrens and rare ecosystems.
